12 / 84 = x / 336.
Cross-multiply. You get 48

It can easily be done using ratio. Let the runs be x Therfore, 84/12= 336/x or, 84x=12x336 . So.x= (12 x 336)/84 =48

(12/84) X 100 = 14%
336 X 14% = 47

He hits a home run every 7 games.
84/12 = 7
So, during the 336th game, he is expected to hit 48 home runs
336/7 = 48
